Comment on Commenting is now open to all Readers (again) by Ron Conte https://ronconte.wordpress.com/2019/01/15/commenting-is-now-open-to-all-readers-again/comment-page-1/#comment-7732

We should be praying for the persons in our lives today, and the souls in Purgatory. I don’t recommend praying for a happy death for persons who already died. That was a hypothetical discussion, not advice.

For the Lord, the past doesn’t exist, the future doesn’t exist. Everything is an eternal present. Those prayers had already been taken into account. And so, I repeat that even now I can pray for the happy death of my great-grandfather.— A story taken from C. Bernard Ruffin’s Padre Pio

My great-grandfather died in battle during World War 1. How can it be that I can pray for a happy death for my great-grandfather who died in a battle?

What did Saint Padre Pio exactly mean by this statement that one can pray for the happy death of someone that passed away a long time ago? I do understand that God is not limited in time but it does not make sense when you know someone suffered a horrible death.
